It's all over the web, but the mainstream media has, so far, barely dipped a toe into the story.
Link to July 7 New York Times article, " Ex-Prosecutor’s Book Accuses Bush of Murder".
Interesting. This was actually the subheadline in the print version. "High on the Best-Seller List, And Ignored by the Media."
Excerpt:
As an author, Mr. Bugliosi has written three No. 1 best sellers and won three Edgar Allan Poe awards, the top honor for crime writers. More than 30 years ago he co-wrote the best seller "Helter Skelter", about the Manson case.
So Mr. Bugliosi could be forgiven for perhaps thinking that a new book would generate considerable interest, among reviewers and on the broadcast talk-show circuit.
But if he thought that, he would have been mistaken: his latest, a polemic with the provocative title "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder", has risen to best-seller status with nary a peep from the usual outlets that help sell books: cable television and book reviews in major daily newspapers.
